Nerd - time. I downloaded a post-draft roster from 2kshare, and then made every deal/signing since then, for NBA 2k13. Welcome to NBA 2k14 - with less Pelicans. I played the first game last night, and it made me realize that the Bulls do have a fair amount of shooters surrounding D-Rose. If they sign Camby, they could be legitimately ridiculous. Oh yeah, and D-Rose went for 31 points, 19 dimes, and 9 boards, which was fun.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 02:42 AM) Ahh, once again I find myself in this thread for unhappy reasons. Last time it was a b**** named Jazmine who I wanted real bad one summer, she denied, then she wanted me real bad the next summer, I denied. Then, unexpectedly, she moved to New Mexico while I was at school with her *NEW* boyfriend of a couple months. She's a pretty dumb girl. That's what I get for dating a girl 2 years younger than me maybe? Oh wait. Now the *NEW* girl for me is named....wait for it.....Jasmine. With an S, not a Z. And she is how old....??.....4 years younger! Here we go again. This relationship actually started off pretty fast and very well. She works at the place I am interning at this summer. I actually didn't realize she was so young, she looks and acts my age. After I realized I was interested in her, at least superficially, I started staying later at work so we could hang out in the studio for 2 hours a day. We ended up flirting a LOT from across the room, while the show was going on. Constantly looking up at each other for reactions to stuff and smiling uncontrollably. Then at some point she got my number from someone at work, and texted me that she had a friend back out on her for a weekend show she hosts, and asked if I wanted to sit in the studio with her. Her reasoning was because of how funny I am, an obvious flirting comment. The Hawks were playing that night in the Stanley Cup Finals, so naturally I declined and didn't hang w/ her. Maybe this worked to my advantage, because then she started texting me randomly, and especially during the 2-hour show we are both a part of in the afternoon (she does traffic and weather, I help produce). We then began texting I'd say every single day. Then one weekend while my parents were out of town, I got the balls enough to ask her if she wanted to come over and dive in to Breaking Bad. It's my favorite show, I've mentioned how great it is to her multiple times, it was kind of an inside joke at this point. She agreed. I then invite her to spend the night if she soo choose to. She liked that idea. So on the first ever night we saw each other outside of work, and after knowing each other for maybe 2 weeks, we slept together in my bed. Now, I mean that in the most innocent sense. We SLEPT. No sex, no touching, no kissing, nothing. I didn't want to pull any moves this early, and I didn't want to scare her. Fast forward 5 days and 2 more "hang outs" later, and we go to a friend's house for a party. She is underage, but we both got pretty drunk. I already locked down a bedroom at my friends house to crash, and she was down for it. After some rather "aggressive" make-out sessions, that including both of us getting handfuls of....each other....we once again slept together. She repeated to me many times, "I really wish we could f*** tonight. I want to so bad, but I don't want our first time to be when I'm wasted. But don't worry, we will have sex soon". I said fine, it wasn't a big deal to me. That was last Thursday. Flash forward to this week. We go to the Carnival on Wednesday night. We are walking around meeting all of her friends, she is introducing me to them all, some of them are whispering in her ear like "this is the guy?" type stuff, which makes me think she has told her friends obviously. Then, we walk past a carnie that starts yelling stuff to us. She turns around and engages. He asks who I am, she says "This is my boyfriend". So right there, I am taken aback. I didn't realize we were doing that. I didn't know she thought we were dating. Immediately in my head I get nervous that I need to apparently "formally" ask her to date because she clearly thinks we are. This is where I get in to trouble. So for the entire week I had been planning this adorable idea of going to surprise her at her other work (dessert/deli restaurant), and then leaving a single rose on her windshield that said "HAVE A GREAT DAY!" on the little note. I should have stuck w/ that idea. Instead, because of this "this is my boyfriend" revelation at the Carnival, I decided to switch up the card and instead have it say "Be my girlfriend?" with 2 check boxes that said "YES" or "HELLA YES". It's an inside joke w/ us, and the boxes were obviously a joke to pretend we middle school crushes. After clearing it with multiple female friends of mine, I went ahead w/ the plan on Thursday, yesterday. The plan backfired. She sent me a text thanking me for the rose, but said she is not sure about the dating part. Said she must have been sending me mixed signals. I explained to her the thing w/ the Carnie and how it shocked me, which is why I changed the card around. She explained she did it only to get the carnie off her back. Makes sense, I just didn't put 2 and 2 together. f***ing idiot. So now I feel like I just got rejected, when I was only doing it because I thought she would be mad if I didn't do it. So she forced a hand I didn't want to play, and now I look like the idiot. f***ing s***. So the rest of the day at work yesterday when she arrived was awkward, then today at work it was awkward. I mean, we can't even make eye contact, our texting conversations suck, and it has all gone to hell in 48 hours. My parents are currently out of town again, and I had planned for her to stay at least one of these nights, but now it is looking like she won't come at all. All her texts are 1 word answers that end the chat. I have to keep inventing new things to talk about, she'll reply, but they won't take the conversation anywhere. It's f***ing stressful. Anyway, just wanted to rant. I'm in a s*** mood now, probably won't text her tomorrow unless she texts me first. I can't believe and incredibly sweet gesture that all my female friends loved and gushed over has now f***ed things up for me. I can't figure this one out. How do you go from heavy making out, grabbing each other, non-stop texting and sleeping together, promises of sex, to "I'm not sure right now" about dating. I'll hang up and listen to your replies. tl;dr version - I didn't want to ask a girl to be my girlfriend, misread a signal, asked a girl to date out of guilt, got rejected, now I look like the dumb one, relationship is heavy danger. Young love is hilarious. We've all been there. Still doesn't make the above any less hilarious. Move along, plenty of babes out there.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 9, 2013 -> 02:14 PM) I feel like it's going one of two ways. 1) waiting for person B to get back to them on an offer and stalling (not likely, bc why would the interview be scheduled briefly) 2) interview scheduled, VP notified, VP had no idea they were this far in process and needs a ton of information and to micromanage the bejesus out of the situation Got a call on Friday saying I should hear this week. I've given up. It sounds like they didn't have their ducks in a row and are now interviewing lower-level candidates. Thanks for wasting my time, company!

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 05:00 PM) The Brewers should absolutely be able to void his contract, and have Braun go away forever. I'm so sick of these s***heads. If they did that'd I'd start praying for the White Sox to sign him.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 04:55 PM) Very true. In general I liked it and didn't feel like I wasted two hours, but it was a little too...hokey. This and the previous comment are spot-on about Lawless. I was all-in with the film, wife and I saw it in River North opening weekend. s***, it had Bane, Commissioner Gordon, and Shia Labeouf (who I'm a big fan of despite his creepy infatuation with his own mother). It just didn't have... enough. That said, it kind of falls in the category of that random Johnny Depp John Dillinger flick - so many variables that seem to add up to awesome, yet not awesome.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 04:32 PM) I haven't seen yet, but a few friends of mine loved it. Brian didn't like it, but his favorite movie is The Notebook so I discounted his opinion. Well, you just said a guy was a "hidden" genius behind the movie. That's why I asked.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 04:24 PM) It is a huge choice. I honestly think Bale is a man of his word, the cape is hung up regardless of money. Whoever plays Batman will need that intensity. The one thing I am really happy about in all of this is that David Goyer is writing this. He is the hidden genius in Nolan's batman movies and Snyders Superman. Was Snyder's Superman even any good? I somehow avoided that, because 1- Superman is lame, 2- bad reviews, 3- Superman is lame. That's coming from a dork who ate up Superman comic books.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 04:13 PM) The source comics for this are some of the best selling comics ever written. The Dark Knight Returns was an amazing comic. This movie will set up the tension between the two characters leading into The Justice League movie. I'm highly intrigued in who plays Batman. DC should just back up the truck for Bale, but Superman doesn't fit into the Nolan universe. Obviously, JGL would be a nice call, but I just don't think those worlds can collide.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 20, 2013 -> 03:04 PM) On July 18th. Mommy and baby are doing well. The most amazing experience in my life (sorry 2005)!!! In true kindness to daddy, she chose to be born on one of the rare days where none of the major professional sports had a game (which my dad pointed out). He then decided it was because she wanted to watch the open. CONGRATS!

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 10:59 AM) I started a rewatch of The Sopranos on my commute home last week. Holy crap is it dated (1999). Tony's suburban, Meadow's computer, etc. Things that are 14 years old tend to be dated. We could say the same about all of the technology used in The Wire.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 11:59 AM) Before Garza goes, Peavy is the best pitcher on the market. Levine is high on drugs. But Garza's had a great month and Peavy's been injured during it, and apparently MLB GMs are stupid.
